<p>>  did anyone on the team really not push back?<p>This is the real question. If they are serious about not doing something like this again, they NEED to look at what process failed and let something like this get proposed, designed, implemented and pushed to production. Usually things get reviewed at each stage. Did the people who pushed back on this get steam rolled? If no one pushed back, that's an even serious culture question and the entire org would need training.<p>A serious "we won't do it again", needs to be accompanied by a COE on this for identifying what went wrong, and identifying what guardrails can be put in place and then actually implementing them.</p>

<p>Comparing it to X flights maybe correct from a greenhouse emissions standpoint, but extremely misleading from a safety perspective. A jet emits that co2 spread over tens of thousands of miles. The problem here is it all pooled in one location.<p>Also that statement of 70 meters seem very off, looking at the size of the building. What leads to suffocation is the inability to remove co2 from your body rather than lack of oxygen, and thus can be life threatening even at 4% concentration. It should impact a much much larger area.</p>

<p>> Many of the dependencies used names that are known to be “hallucinated” by AI chatbots. Developers frequently query these bots for the names of dependencies they need. LLM developers and researchers have yet to understand the precise cause of hallucinations or how to build models that don’t make mistakes. After discovering hallucinated dependency names, PhantomRaven uses them in the malicious packages downloaded from their site.<p>I found it very interesting that they used common AI hallucinated package names.</p>
